Workplace Transformation: A Paradigm Shift in Chronic or Persistent Pain
By Dr. David Schechter M.D. and Mia Khalil, Integrative NLP Coach

​

In today's fast-paced corporate environment, the well-being of employees is more crucial than ever. Yet, there's a silent issue that often goes unnoticed: chronic or persistent pain. Affecting up to 40% of American workers, chronic pain is more than just a personal health issue; it's a significant workplace concern, impacting productivity, morale, and overall corporate health culture.

​

The Hidden Cost of Chronic or Persistent Pain

The financial burden of chronic pain on American employers is staggering. Annually, it costs the United States an estimated $560 to $635 billion, including both direct medical costs and productivity losses. Beyond the numbers, the human cost is profound: decreased job performance, concentration issues, and strained relationships in the workplace.

​

A Paradigm Shift   

Recognizing this pressing issue, we've developed the Chronic or Persistent Pain Education and Recovery Program. This initiative isn't just another wellness program; it's a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to transforming how organizations handle chronic pain.

​

Scientifically Proven Approach

Developed by experts, Dr. David Schechter, clinical psychologist Dr. Justin Barker, and Mia Khalil, our program combines medical insights with psychological understanding. It's an integrative, online, self-paced journey rooted in the latest research in chronic or persistent pain recovery.

​

Customizable Solutions

Each individual experiences pain differently, which is why our program offers a range of modalities that are tailored to specific needs and symptoms. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution; it's a personalized path to recovery.
